NOTES·
1. Licensee shall bond to Utility pole ground wherever Utility
has a down ground on the pole. If the ground is under the metal
U-guard, contact Utility to make the ground connection.
2. If no pole ground exists install a pole clown ground on the
pole. Protect the pole ground with a ground wire moulding. Top of
ground rod shall be at least 6 inches below grade.
3. Bond wire shall be #6 bare copper or larger. If bond wire is
unsuppo1ted for more than 12" long, staple to pole.
4. lNhen communication's are underground. the power is overhead
and it is required that the communications ground be interconnected
to the power supply ground. the connection shall be made below

4. No Attachment may be installed on a Utility pole until all
required guys and ancho rs are installed. nor may any Attachment be
modified or relocated in such a way as w ill materially increase
the stress or loading on Utility poles until all required guys and
anchors are installed .
5. Licensee's down guys shall not be bonded to ground or neutral
wires of Utility's pole and shall not provide a current path to
ground from the pole ground or power system neutral. If permitted
or required by the Utility. grounded guys should be installed.
6. On jointly used structures, guvs that pass within 12" of
supply conductors. and also pass within 12" of communication
cables, shall be protected with a suitable insulating covering
where the guy passes the supply conductors, unless the guy is
effectively grounded or insulated with a stra111 insulator at a
point below the lowest supply conductor and above the highest
communication cable .
No communications power supply shall be mounted on poles except
